"Man I really want to pick up this stick of tobacco and smoke it! I mean it only harms my body and serves no purpose"

Are you really that desperate to "Look cool"?

Don't smoke people it isn't cool. It only makes your clothing stink. And make the people around you smell like smoke.

Why do people drink soda? Why do people sit in front of a computer all day and watch anime? Why do people drink? People like doing things that is not good for their body and know it. Smoking isn't cool anymore bashing smoking is the cool thing now anyway haha. I smoke because I enjoy the taste and it relives stress(and I can pretend to be a dragon which is fun also). I'm sooooo sorry if I have a hard day studying and going to class that I pull out a evil menthol cig and relax.

I mean why would start smoking. If you are addicted then that is a different reason.

Drinking soda taste good with meals. And watching anime is fun to do. Smoking though isn't fun.
I am not bashing people who smoke.

I am just saying if you started smoking because you thought it was cool... Then that is stupid.
And smoking doesn't calm you down/relax you. It only calms your bodies addiction. I am not trying to be a dick. I am just trying to stop anyone from starting to smoke. It is a pointless addition to life.

I've gone months without cigs before and don't feel a thing so I don't believe I'm am addicted I just smoke every know and then to pass the time. Menthol's taste amazing better then peppermints haha. I just smoke to pass time and the minty awesome taste. I started smoking because I was bored one day and decided to try them no joke lol. You can also say that soda is poison to you'r body and is pointless as well. People also can get addicted to soda I've seen it before. I know their terrible for me and limit myself to 1-3 a day even though I know it will hurt my body. No one sees smoking as cool anymore the opposite actually.

Nah, I think its dumb. I understand people back in the day who did not know about the risks of it during the world wars etc but people who do it now I can't really say anything lol soldiers did it because they were fighting wars and had stress ......

I think it's disgusting and will never do it. Of course, I don't really care if someone smokes because it's their choice.
None of my family smokes and only one friend of mine smokes but she's been trying to quit.
I wouldn't date someone who smokes (if I really loved them and they did smoke, I'd try and help them quit).
I have severe asthma though, so I can't be around someone who smokes.

I smoke marijuana. It's a huge part of the California culture and I started when I was 17. I don't smoke cigarettes not just because the smoke is dangerous for myself and everyone around me, but because from deforestation to maintaining the tobacco, to harvesting and curing and packaging and even disposal after they've been used, they're extremely destructive to the people, animals, and earth. The mass distribution and lack of global regulation leaves even children with green tobacco sickness; it causes death to many species that die from a lack of nutrients because they believe the butts are food and it exploits the natural resources and labor of specifically developing countries around the world. Marijuana, when distributed and consumed locally, doesn't have huge negative consequences as the cigarette industry. If anything, keep it green (and purple!).
